Wal-Mart Meat Workers
In Texas Vote to Join Union

In the first successful union vote at a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. operation in the U.S., meat-department workers at a WalMart Supercenter in Jacksonville, Texas, voted to unionize.

The workers voted 7 to 3 to join the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Wal-Mart of Bentonville, Ark., said it will oppose the vote, arguing the move wasn't inclusive and represented just 3% of the Jacksonville store's 365 workers.
